Seems like there could be a crowdsourced version of Consumer Reports.
By the time it gets critical mass to be good crowdsourcing it’ll suffer from astroturfing and spam and other SEO techniques, which will have to be met with stricter and more proactive moderation, which may go a bit too hard and alienate casual users from participation, which will hurt its own reliability.

It’s not an easy problem to solve.
